Let's face it, you want a gun because you know an American criminal is very likely already armed with firearm. You are not arming yourself to fight criminals; you are arming yourself because guns are too easy to obtain.
Too bad that a criminal would likely get the first shot in.

Exactly, you're arming yourself to defend yourself against a criminal. One who is very unlikely to be a law abiding citizen and throw away his gun should they ever be banned. Guns will always be easy to obtain for criminals; they may go up in price as more are moved out of circulation, but they will always have the means to obtain them. Meanwhile, those who choose to defend themselves with a firearm have no means of access to these guns without doing so illegally. Regardless, whether he is using a knife or a gun to break in, a gun is still the better option to defend yourself with. I'd rather not get stabbed, tyvm.
And that's simply not true. You have the fortification of your own house. If you catch him before he completely breaks in, you've already won. If you have a firearm and are not afraid to use it, that it.
